Audiobook Review: Evil is Forever

Image
  In this sizzling sequel to  One Killer Night , a special effects artist and a hotshot chef put their shared past to the test to survive a stalker—and their feelings for each other. It’s been two years since Evie and Chase clawed their way out of the real-life horror movie that would define most people. They’ve finally moved on. Or so they thought. Evie’s doing special effects for a new slasher film. Chase is preparing to open his own restaurant. But it’s not work that’s getting to them—it’s each other. While Chase still has his heart-eyed sights set on Evie, she’s got hers on the nearest exit. And she’s dreaming up the best comeback to whatever annoying thing he says next. So what if he saved her life? She’s already kissed him more than enough times. They’re even now, right? But when fate (or some nefarious plot) forces them into the same living quarters, things between Evie and Chase go from lukewarm to red hot. Trouble is, their romantic rendezvous aren’t as private as the...

Audiobook Review: Twelve Mile Limit

Image
  Twelve Mile Limit by Brandy Hynes is now live in audio! Narrated by:  Avery Caris & Sean Masters Nothing’s more exclusive than Noire Underground. Serving the wicked and reaping rewards. Secrets. Lies. Soot and cinders. Rhythm. Blades. Games and gore. A knife like a claw and the strike of a needle. This hidden haven is a throne of chains. Maddox Tessa Lockhart is what dreams—and nightmares—are made of. Since she works at the resort I own, she’s technically off-limits, but rules are suggestions I tend not to take. Especially when it comes to the silver-haired tattoo artist with a sharp tongue and quick wit. The only problem is that she hates me. Nah. That’s pretty perfect too. I took care of something for her, and there’s been some new developments, so it’s time to cash in. But there’s only one payment I’ll accept. Her. Tessa Maddox Noire is tragically gorgeous and infuriatingly demented. His sinister king-of-the-underworld persona and urge to dance through life used to gi...

Audiobook Review: Bloody Quarter

Image
  Don’t worry, Doll. You’ll taste heaven before you walk with the dead. Was I dead? I had wanted to die. I remembered deciding that I was done with this life and done with the memories and ghosts that haunted me. I’d looked at the darkness below and prayed for it to swallow me whole. Spreading my arms wide, I stepped off the ledge and woke up in hell. At least, I thought it was hell. It was hard to tell anymore. My soul was ripped from my chest long before now, and my heart had stopped beating when the gavel banged, sentencing me to five years in prison. So what was this place? The man who had me must be the devil, and I was his doll. Solely there for his entertainment. I never expected the devil to be as sexy as sin and just as tempting as an addiction. Even in death, tortured, and used, I couldn’t be helped. I wanted him, and every depraved thing he did only hammered home that my soul couldn’t be saved. I always knew I was destined for hell.  My Review When you see the names...

My Review OMG. First off, let me pick up the pieces of my shattered heart. C. Hebert took me on a beautiful, emotional, roller coaster of a ride. The deeper I got into the story, the more I became invested in Forsythe and Lucille's journey.  Yes, Forsythe and Lucille did grow real romantic feelings for one another but there was something deeper between them then a spark. They both were carrying a heavy emotional chip on their shoulders. Then they both broke down and released their feelings; this was one of the best scenes in this book. This is where my heart broke i...

Book Review: Cupid is a Liar

Image
  I thought the worst thing that could happen on Valentine’s Day was getting stood up. I was wrong. When my date ghosts me and I decide to confront him, I don’t expect the night to spiral. I don’t expect danger and I definitely don’t expect the quiet, intense man from down the hall to step in and change everything. Damian Salvanti is calm under pressure. Terrifyingly observant. And far too willing to put himself between me and the world. The more time I spend with him, the more unsettling the truth becomes. He knows me. My routines. My fears. The things I want but never say out loud. Because Damian hasn’t just been watching out for me. He’s been watching me… Cupid Is a Liar   is a dark, fast-paced Valentine’s romance featuring an obsessive, morally gray hero who falls first, a heroine who chooses danger over safety, and a love story that blurs the line between devotion and obsession. My Review Damian has been watching Hannah and her cat, Mr. Wiggles for quite some time. He kno...
